[QUOTE="cajun, post: 1560593, member: 9772"] I was reminded this weekend of the importance of having a large objective diameter for daylight and dark thirty. I have an older sako rifle with a 3x9 x 40 zeiss .At dark thirty I had a large body deer in my shooting lane but I had to dial back to 6 power just to see the deer but could not see horns. With my vortex pst 50 mm I can see at dark thirty at 10-12 power and see horns. The glass on the zeiss is better than the vortex but the larger objective on the vortex makes a big difference in low light. [/QUOTE]
